Originally our fear had a
pretty amazing function - to keep us safe. We have developed a concept
of fear that reaches far beyond that now though. We feel fear in
many situations where there is no apparent danger. There are a number of
reasons for this - we have learned about fear from many sources. We have
learned things about fear that simply are not true.
When we
resist life's experiences, when we do not trust in the power of life,
we judge those feelings to be "fear." Where there is no
present danger, fear has no use to us. This kind of fear cannot hurt
us. It is telling us that something is wrong - maybe we could choose
something differently. Maybe we could think about something
differently.
And if nothing else, just
take the fear along. Don't let it stop you from doing anything your heart
really wants to do.
